In Norway, a massive fire in Drammen destroyed more than 100 residential units, with firefighters describing the scene as a "war zone."

A boat collision near San Francisco resulted in two confirmed deaths and two missing persons. Separately, U.S. authorities arrested Ronald Fischer, who fled for two decades before being taken into custody for alleged child sexual abuse.
